I'll try to get the fix taken care of in the next few days.

I think we want a generic changer that applies to Voice contexts and can
change a note either solo or in a chord context.

We probably also want a generic changer that applies to TabVoice contexts
that works the same way.

Then we can define aliases for particular instruments that will work with
the particular needs of that instrument.

Having stated this, I hope to get it done in the next couple of days.

Thanks,
